Programs

Pre-Medical/Pre-Dental Programs: The University offers specific pre-medical and pre-dental curricula that meet all requirements necessary for application to professional schools. However, most students select a regular departmental major, such as Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, or Psychology. All students are encouraged to use the academic and career advising services provided by the Pre-Medical Advisory Committee.

Five College Coastal & Marine Sciences Program: The program offers interdisciplinary curriculum and research opportunities in both natural and social sciences to undergraduate students enrolled in Amherst, Hampshire, Mount Holyoke, and Smith Colleges, or UMass Amherst.
